Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut sweet potatoes into small pieces (so that they steam faster), after peeling off skin. Steam for about 10 minutes or until soft and cooked.
  3. Remove sweet potatoes from steamer after done cooking and place in a bowl. Use a potato masher or large fork and mash them.
  4. Peel outer layer of 1 carrot and discard. Thinly ribbon the carrot, by peeling again to create thin ribbon-like strips. Don’t fret over uneven strips. Stop when you’ve used 1/2 of carrot. Chop strips in half so that they are not too long. No more than 3 inches in length is desirable. (This pic was before I cut them in half so they look longer).
  5. Add minced ginger, coconut oil (does not have to be melted), carrot ribbons, coconut flakes, walnuts, and almond milk to bowl of sweet potatoes. Mix thoroughly.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients thoroughly: green banana flour, almond flour, baking powder. Add dry spices and mix.
  7. Mix components of both bowls together. Stir thoroughly and ensure that the moist ingredients completely cover and blend with dry ingredients and all ingredients are distributed evenly. If the mixture looks too dry, add more almond milk.
  8. Grease a 12-muffin baking tray (I used coconut oil).
  9. Evenly spoon mixture into 12 slots of muffin tray.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and stick a toothpick in the center of a muffin to test how cooked they are. I baked for 25 minutes (they looked a bit brown on top but not burnt).
  11. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  12. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Try different spices if you’re not a fan of some of these ones. Also, I honestly didn’t taste the fresh ginger that much. I would add more next time. Or, if you don’t have any you can eliminate it entirely as it’s not critical to the taste of the muffins.
